Penalties, blown opportunities haunt Pirates in City Championship

Sep. 23—Brunswick High had its chances — a litany of them — but ultimately it was Glynn Academy that made the plays down the stretch to capture the City Championship with a 22-15 victory Friday at Glynn County Stadium.

The Pirates had their game-winning field goal attempt blocked with 31 seconds remaining in regulation, and they were sacked on three consecutive plays in overtime, the final blow coming on fourth down to snap a three-game win streak in the series.
